While the entire kingdom banded together to stop the encroaching birdcage, Luffy finished beating the actual snot out of Doflamingo with his new form, fulfilling his promise and your true dream.
You promised yourself you weren't going to cry, but you couldn't help but let a couple tears slip as the string-cage dissipated and the entire island erupted in cheers.
And Usopp only made it worse when he revealed his "goal-achieving present".
It was a necklace, with a pendant made from the circle punched out of your original mace back in Alabasta.
He found it before you all left, and, remembering your dream, he made it into a necklace and kept it safe until you accomplished your wish.
So, after a quick rest, and a run in with Luffy's other brother, Sabo, the crew left Dressrosa on the straight shot to Zou.
Where serious things had been going down.
Once you all arrived, the local Mink tribe explained that an attack was perpetrated by one of Kaido's top men not too long before your arrival, and the fact that Raizo, one of Kin'emon's compatriots, was kept safely hidden despite the harsh torture they all endured.
Not only that, but at some point in the melee, Sanji was swept away by some of the Big Mom pirates.
It was a real predicament.
And it would seem that the crew would have to split up yet again...
海賊狩
"Dinner time! Dinner time! Dinner time!" Luffy sang as the crew plus company walked to the camp the Minks had set up.
"Hey! Wait a sec, Luffy!" Nami exclaimed, pulling him into a headlock, "They already threw us a giant feast! What's your priority? Gorging yourself? Or helping a crewmate in trouble?"
"Uh. Are you coming with me?" He groaned, looking up at her.
"Of course! I feel partially responsible for this whole mess, after all," she cocked a brow, "Besides, how are you gonna sail without a New World navigator?"
"Luffy, me too," Chopper chimed, "Pekoms is severely injured. He needs a doctor!"
"And I," Brook agreed, dramatically strumming his guitar, "For who will soothe your soul with the gift of song when the world gets you down?"
Nami scoffed, rolling her eyes, "I think we'll be fine without you..."
"How cruel!"
Luffy turned to Kin'emon, Kanjuro, Momonosuke, and Raizo, stepping forward.
